Newcastle Greyhound Stadium has launched a £5 special deal to run throughout February and March.

The Stadium is offering entrance on a race night, a programme, burger and chips, a premium drinks voucher and three half-price drinks vouchers, all for just a fiver.

Staff at the Stadium hope that the offer will attract people to enjoy what are already popular racing events.

Rebecca Quinn, Sales and Marketing Executive at the Stadium, said: “The idea behind the £5 deal is to make our nights even more attractive.

“We know that a lot of people enjoy a night’s racing with us and anything we can do to make our prices even more competitive is always welcomed by our race-goers.

“The £5 deal is also welcomed because they may have spent quite a bit over Christmas and New Year and this offer means that they can enjoy a night at the races without having to worry too much about the cost.”

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium hosts race nights throughout the year, featuring some of the North’s best greyhounds run by well-known trainers from the region.
